BBC News 24 To Use FORscene For Field Reporting

Forbidden Technologies has announced that BBC News 24 is using FORscene to stream the channel to its network of field reporters across the world to store footage for training purposes.
Forbidden is providing the stream as a managed service to allow News 24 to further improve reporting techniques in a highly competitive marketplace.
The streaming allows field correspondents to follow the precise angles and comment taking place in the studio and to tailor their reports accordingly. In addition, programme footage is being stored on a weekly basis, allowing the news teams to look retrospectively at how stories were reported, to help evaluate future approaches.
Forbidden's FORscene platform utilises advanced digital compression techniques to deliver a live video stream to PCs, Macs and laptops via the web. Reporters are able to scroll through the content to the exact timecode which is of interest to them by using the cursor.
Stephen Streater, CEO of Forbidden Technologies said: "We are delighted to be applying our already successful streaming technology to provide a service for one of the world's best know broadcasters.
"This is the latest in a series of deals with top broadcasters and post production companies, proving the value of Forbidden's web-based proposition in the fast-evolving television industry."
